She only felt that the license plate looked familiar. She instinctively lifted her feet and took two steps closer to the car. The phone in her palm was still ringing, but Xin Yu was completely oblivious to it. She stared fixedly at the middle-aged man who was getting out of the car. She only felt a buzzing sound at the back of her head, as if she suddenly thought of something —
This man …
She seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
But where was it?
Xin Yu couldn't remember it completely, but it felt like a thin thread was tugging at her heart. It felt like she had to grab it hard to grasp it. She watched as the man in black answered a call at the entrance of the hospital. His expression was grim, and then he strode towards the main entrance.
…
Xin Yu didn't even think about it. She immediately turned off the phone. When she pressed the reject button, it took a long time for her to turn off the phone. She put it into her pocket and took out the sunglasses that she had put in her handbag. She put them on and secretly followed the man.
It was also Xinyu's first time tailing someone. She was a little scared as she followed that man all the way. She was still trying hard to recall where she had seen him before.
She waited until she saw the man enter the elevator. She stood at the elevator door and watched as he reached the fifth floor. When the elevator stopped moving, a thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered something.
She had seen him before. She really had seen this man before …
She remembered now —
Three years ago, when she was studying in the UK, Lu Shiyun happened to come to the UK to visit her. At the time, Lu Shiyun went directly to her school. At the time, Xin Yu found a cafe near the school and chatted with Lu Shiyun for more than an hour. In the middle of the conversation, Lu Shiyun received a call, so she got up and went to the restroom. When she reached the restroom door, she remembered that she didn't bring her bag. She wanted to go back to get it because she was on her period. However, when she came back halfway, she happened to see a man about to enter the cafe from the main entrance. At the time, she took a quick glance, but because she saw a Chinese man in the UK, she subconsciously took a second look. What made her remember the man's face wasn't that he was handsome, but because she was standing in the distance and clearly saw Lu Shiyun waving at the man. The man immediately left the cafe cautiously.
…
No wonder she thought he looked familiar. So she really had seen him before. She also thought the license plate of the car he was driving just now looked familiar because it had a few numbers that were especially close to Lu Shiyun's car.
Sometimes, people have this kind of hobby, especially those with money and status. They always want to make everything around them look special. That way, they can show that their status is very different.
Lu Shiyun also had a rather vulgar hobby in this area.
For example, he liked to spend money to make the first few numbers in front of the license plate the same.
…
Xin Yu's heart pounded. She stood in front of the elevator door for a long time until the elevator came down again. Someone pressed the button to open the door. Only then did she react. Almost by coincidence, she walked into the elevator.
By the time she reacted, her slender fingers had already pressed the number five on the wall of the elevator.
Lu Shiyun put down the phone. Just then, there was a series of knocks on the door. It was a very cautious sound. There were only five knocks.
His thick brows furrowed slightly. His movements were exceptionally nimble as he flipped over and got out of bed. He quickly went to the entrance and opened the door. When he saw the middle-aged man standing outside, Lu Shiyun carefully looked around and lowered his voice. "… Did you find anything on your way here?"
"No, Master. I have something important to talk to you about."
"Come in."
…
The door was closed. The two men walked into the ward one after the other. This was a VIP ward, but the room was not very spacious. Lu Shiyun walked to the edge of the bed and sat directly on the sofa opposite. He crossed his legs and looked at the middle-aged man beside him respectfully. "Is there a problem in B City?"
The man nodded slightly. "… Master, I don't know if there really is a problem, but in order to be cautious, I specially came over to report the situation to you."
"Speak."
"… It's like this. A few days ago, a woman was released from prison. Because she had spent the most time with the previous woman, after she was released from prison, I got someone to investigate the woman's whereabouts for safety's sake. I found that she had been to D City."
Lu Shiyun's hand that was pinching the bridge of his nose suddenly paused. His slightly cloudy eyes instantly became incomparably sharp. He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He said sternly, "What's the matter? She came to D City? Tell me clearly! "
"… I'm not sure what exactly happened, but the only thing I can confirm at the moment is that the woman's name is Wu Mingjun. She came to D City and went to the old Leng family mansion. So … I suspect that the two of them had contact in prison. The moment she was released, she went to the old Leng family mansion. It's very likely that she was looking for the Leng family. But fortunately, she didn't know that the daughter of the Leng family had already arrived at the Lu family mansion, so Wu Mingjun also didn't know that Lady Lu was actually the daughter of the Leng family. I've already sent someone to secretly monitor Wu Mingjun. "
…
Outside the ward, Xin Yu's entire body was pressed against the door. Her hands were tightly gripping the bag in her hands, and her slightly pursed lips were trembling.
Actually, the door handle of this ward was not very soundproof. Those who wanted to "eavesdrop" would naturally be able to hear a thing or two.
She couldn't hear the conversation between the two figures inside clearly, but intermittently, she heard "B City", "Leng family", "women", "prison", "surveillance" …
Xin Yu subconsciously held her breath. Her originally tense emotions were now completely stretched like a rubber band.
— — What's going on?
She didn't hear wrongly. The Leng family, Lady Lu, the daughter of the Leng family … Weren't they talking about her?
However, B City, prison, women … What was going on?
…
Xin Yu was even more confused. She didn't know what she had heard. In fact, she shouldn't have suspected Lu Shiyun. How could he possibly harm her? But … what exactly did she hear?
B City … B City … and her Leng family's old mansion … She couldn't help but think of the things she had discussed with Qin Fangang.
The land in the western suburbs was originally the Leng family's old home. However, she later found out that it had become a commercial district. She had told Qin Fangang about it that day. At that time, Qin Fangang didn't say much. However, Xin Yu wasn't completely clueless. She felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed, but she still refused to associate it with Lu Shiyun.
How could he possibly harm her?
She must be thinking too much, right?
…
"… Miss, what are you doing here?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her, interrupting Xin Yu's chaotic thoughts. She abruptly regained her senses. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She turned around and saw a doctor in a white coat looking at her in surprise. Probably because he saw her true face, the doctor immediately put on a smile.
"… Lady Lu, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you just now. Are you here to visit Master Lu?"
Xin Yu's heart was thumping like a thief who had been caught red-handed. Her face was paler than a sheet of paper, and her dry lips were still trembling. Because she was too guilty, she couldn't speak at all.
"…"
The doctor saw that she didn't speak even though she looked so pale. He was a little puzzled. However, before he could speak again, the door of the ward was pulled open from the inside. Lu Shiyun came out with a dark expression. His gaze fell on Xin Yu's face. He frowned. "Xin Yu, why are you back? When did you come? "
"… Father."
Xin Yu's voice was a little shaky. She instinctively clenched her fists by her sides and stuck out her tongue to lick her dry lips. Her voice was very soft. "… I- Yihan just left, so I … I came to see you. I didn't even say a word to you before this."
Although his speech was somewhat intermittent, he still managed to finish the sentence.
Xin Yu secretly took two deep breaths. She told herself that no matter what the truth was, at least for now, she definitely couldn't panic —
Yes, she couldn't panic. Before she figured out everything, she had to stay calm. She had to stay calm.
"… Father, I just came up. I was about to knock on the door when the doctor came over." This was the first time Xin Yu realized that Xin Yu could actually lie without thinking. Perhaps she was really flustered to a certain extent, but she slowly calmed down.
The doctor's eyes flickered. Actually, he had clearly seen Xin Yu secretly sticking to the door, but now that she suddenly said this, he naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly as Lu Shiyun's attending doctor.
Everyone in City D knew that the head of the Lu family, Lu Shiyun, doted on this daughter-in-law the most. Previously, when the scandal of her having an affair was exposed, wasn't he still talking and laughing with her now?
The doctor thought that it would be better if he didn't say anything.
"Yes, Old Master Lu. Lady Lu just came over."
Lu Shiyun nodded calmly. "Doctor Wu, why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to remind Old Master Lu that it's almost time for you to take your medicine."
Lu Shiyun nodded and looked at Xin Yu. "I'm fine. I'll probably be staying in the hospital for the next few days, but there's a board meeting of the Lu Clan tomorrow. I'll be there personally to host it. Xin Yu, you're also a shareholder of the Lu Clan. Remember to be there tomorrow."
